Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

I love cookbooks. Especially ones with pictures. And ones about chocolate.

One of my favorite books is “Forrest Gump-My Favorite Chocolate recipes” Life is like a box of Chocolates. I haven’t found a recipe in this book I don’t love. And I’ve tried most of them.

Maybe I’m a little partial to the movie too. I don’t think Tom Hanks knows how to make a bad movie.

“Run Forrest, Run!”

Sorry, I had to say it.

I used to make peanut butter fudge using chocolate chips and peanut butter chips until I got this book. Now I only make it with this recipe. I have made a few adjustments over the years but this is still one of the best fudge recipes I’ve ever used.

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1/3 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup peanut butter

Instructions

Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and add milk and vanilla.

Sift sugar, cocoa and salt together.

Gradually add sugar mixture to milk mixture stirring until blended.

Stir in peanut butter. I try to leave a few streaks of peanut butter showing but you can stir it completely in if you want.

Press mixture into buttered 8-inch square pan. I line my pan with parchment for easy removal.

Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream is one of those recipes that makes memories...

Some facts

Panuche or Panocha is a fudge like confection. It consists of brown sugar and whole milk or light cream mixed and boiled to the soft-ball stage. It is then cooled and nuts, dried fruit or marshmallows are mixed in and spread in a flat pan.
One variation substitutes strong coffee for the milk or cream.
The name Panocha is a variation of Panela...
